“A stunning second home for a lovely semi-retired couple, their gorgeous dog and family and friends. With an easy open plan layout, improved areas of storage and a new cosy welcoming interior, this is now a cottage that will be very difficult to leave at the end of the weekend.”

With its timeless mix of natural materials, antiques and a subdued powdery paint scheme this cottage in Wiltshire explores texture, light and space. So calm, so inviting. Bedwyn House by Emma Milne Interiors.
